It's a matter of personal taste. The S3 model's hips do look nicer in my opinion, but then I'm not really a big fan of V3, I prefer V2, but love the clothing and props that are for V3. As I understand it, Stephanie is a female version of Michael, which would explain the more masculine hip and leg lines. Men tend to have narrower, less curvy hips, though a great many women do as well. If it were me, I'd go with the figure that 'felt' right to me and buy the clothing etc that went with the figure or looked for any morph files that would allow clothing and hair for one figure to be used on another. Which basically means I'm SOL for V2 -grins- but I dun really mind, when I want to use the clothing, I just get V3 as close to the V2 model I'd been working with and render the clothing, then go back and paste over the first figure's render, and erase any body part I didnt like, so that I had my V2 figure :) Its basically not being a fan of inj and rem files, too much work to get the figure I want.
